| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan murano, after driving 85 miles continuously on the interstate, when i slowed to merge to another interstate lost all power while trying to accelerate. I was stopped with no emergency lane in a construction area and was lucky to have avoided the others merging and traveling by at 70 m. P. H.! It eventually gave me some power which i used to exit the interstate and called the local nissan dealer in des moines. I was able to "limp" the car the 20 minute drive on back roads in des moines where within an hour, the dealer told me i would need a new transmission. After nissan extends the warranty on this transmission and i have a failed one, it strikes me that a repair/recall should be done on these before an incident like mine occurs. I had three children in the car, with other cars racing by me at high speeds, and i was very fortunate to not have been rear ended. It was daylight and i was able to control the car.. But others might not be as lucky! |
